    Changing seals on my lower unit.

    What is a good Mercury 50hp worth.

    I have a good 50hp 1991 mercury 2 stroke engine. Has good compression and in range on all cylinders. I am wondering what I should sell it for. I bought new, old boat with 200hp motor. I'd keep it for a spare but I don't think it would push my 20' bass boat very well.
